Earlier this week, as reported by Nate Monroe, Pensacola Bay Center officials asked the Escambia County Commission for a two-year, $10 million overhaul to upgrade the aging building and keep it a viable and marketable venue.

While the Bay Center, formerly the Pensacola Civic Center, has had its share of entertainment successes in its 28-year career, currently it's operating in the red. As Monroe mentioned in his article (http://on.pnj.com/10RP3AN), Escambia County budget chief Amy Lovoy reported a Bay Center shortfall last year of $1.2 million on a $5.8 million operating budget.
